Drinking coffee



Recommended Posts

Its funny that you mention that because I had read a post where someone said that once you have this surgery coffee and tea is a no-no. i love coffee. love it. i can live without soda, but i hate the thought of giving up coffee (although i obviously will if i have to)...but i wondered WHY no coffee?? so actually, your post gives me hope!!

Fancypants- coffee is hard on the stomach and not recommend early on. I now drink it regularly but I'm 3.5 years out. Ask your program what they suggest.

I was willing to give up coffee to be healthy if needed, but was glad to find out that I was allowed to have it.

I enjoy it most days when I go to work. such a simple pleasure! Tea I normally have on Sunday evening.

Follow your nut's & surgeon's advice post surgery.

You are well into the last post WLS diet phase.

For others, you can start with Decaf. initially and then introduce caffeinated at the appropriate phase Up to 2 mugs of regular coffee max (I am well past the initial post op phases) is what my nut recommends -granted 0 cups is probably what she prefers.

Follow your nut's & surgeon's advice post surgery.

There are many sources of caffeine (tea, diet drinks, etc.) so keep that in mind, also, coffee can be a little acidic, so drinking a lot of decaf. coffee could still irritate the stomach.

My surgery was in February and I've lost 95lbs. I hated coffee before surgery, but now I'm pretty close to addicted. I love the stuff, especially iced coffee. I started drinking it about two months ago. Actually, I haven't had any yet today and I'm sitting here waiting for work to end so I can go. I don't really crave food anymore....BUT I CRAVE MY DELICIOUS COFFEE lol

I am a week away from surgery.

I wish I read this before I broke down and had a french roast coffee!!

I really don't drink much coffee, no soda, but after 3 days and nights of severe headaches.

Tylenol did not work. I had a coffee, miracle, no headache. I think I will start again after this cup.

My fav Decaf is Barista Prima Italian roast K cups @ Keurig site online. I did decaf pretty much post op week 2 on until 3-4 mo out and still alternate with regular at times to keep my caffeine a bit lower. If I drink too much caffeine, my stomach hurts. I am 9 months post op.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
